Hey folks, I'm so excited to share gSweets with the PH community today!
We fell in love with the speed and simplicity of slash-commands in apps like Slack & Notion. But at work, we use Google Suite. We found ourselves building up the muscle memory, hitting the `/` key in Google Docs and feeling sad when nothing appeared.
After speaking to 30+ product and marketing managers we found others who shared this pain, so we decided to scratch our own itch.
If you're an avid Google Docs user, you're going to love gSweets ❤️
You'll save time:

We can't wait hear your thoughts. If you have any feedback or requests for shortcuts, find us on Twitter @gsweetsapp and drop a comment below 👇
Cheers,
The gSweets team

@gsweetsapp@jeremykovac Using this extension for couple of months now. Found it on a Indie Hackers Post. Loved it!! Great Work!!
@gsweetsapp@jeremykovac@mike_seekwell Google docs / sheets has a hidden command+K type feature. On Mac, hit `option` + `/` and a Help menu shows up. Start typing and it will let you do just about anything the app offers.
Love the idea, but hate that I have to install another Chrome extension. Wonder if this could be installed through the G Suite Workspace extension or sth?
@jake_tran Hi Jake! When we started developing gSweets, a native solution was the most desirable. Unfortunately, the possibilities offered by Google AppScript are much more limited compared to those of a Chrome Extension. However, the main reason why we finally decided to go with a Chrome Extension was performance - most of the shortcuts that are executed in near-real time with gSweets in its current form would take hundreds of times longer as a GSuite Workspace Extension.
Would be very happy if you give gSweets a chance despite the circumstances :)
Have been testing it for a couple of minutes and I must say it's a pretty nice tool.
For people that use google docs a lot, I would even say it's a must-have in terms of productivity.
